How to create & add Videos to YouTube

YouTube is the most popular video sharing platform on the internet. You can find almost all types of video on YouTube. To sign up for a YouTube account, you need to open a google account which is also used for gmail, drive and various other google tools.

If you already happen to have a YouTube account then you don’t need to sign up again just go to YouTube and login with your google account details. If you don’t have a google account then go through the following steps to create one:

Then fill out the given form with your Name, e-mail address, user name, date of birth and gender. Click on the “I would like a new Gmail address” while filling out your e-mail address to create your own google account.

Provide a phone number to prove that you’re not a machine.

You can opt to fill in a captcha or you can skip it but in that case you will be sent a verification code to your provided number.

Tick on the “I agree” checkbox

Click on “Next step”

If you opted out of the captcha test then you’ll be prompted to enter a verification code that was sent to your phone number.

You can enter a photo for your profile photo.
